—People, "Best Summer Books"
“Pure escape . . . A voyeuristic page-turner. After I read it, I
dove for more Sager: luckily he has five others, bestsellers
all.”
—The Boston Globe, “Ten Thrillers to Read on Your Summer
Vacation”
“The tale takes a series of weird turns, morphing into a cross
between Silence of the Lambs and The Exorcist. . . . As with
Sager’s first five thrillers, the characters are well drawn and the
prose is first rate.”
—Associated Press
“It's a familiar psychological thriller structure--until everything
changes. . . . A page-turning climax.”
—USA Today
“The thrills and chills are all present and accounted for in this
tale.”
—E! News
“The House Across the Lake reads like a psychological thriller
version of The Great Gatsby, featuring binoculars for more accurate
across-the-lake spying, smaller gatherings for a shorter list of
suspects, and a truly bat**** twist for more satisfying
consumption. So basically The Great Gatsby, but better. I know,
them’s fightin' words.”
—CrimeReads

of The House Across the Lake focused keenly on believable
characters who may not always be likable but who readers will care
deeply about. . . . Deliciously eerie plot."
—South Florida SunSentinel
"The House Across the Lake is the work of a master storyteller. A
Hitchcockian premise is given an exciting new spin, as voyeurism,
murder, and the lies we tell ourselves about our nearest and
dearest spiral out of control in this gripping mystery, where
nothing is what it seems. I had a thrilling time reading this. An
unputdownable page-turner."
—Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The
Silent Patient and The Maidens
“Riley Sager is an auto-buy for me, and his latest propulsive
thriller, The House Across the Lake, may just be my favorite of his
yet. With his characteristic mix of dynamic characters and
riveting plot twists, Sager will keep you turning the pages in his
foray into secrets, grief, revenge, and love.”
—Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing
He Told Me
"The House Across the Lake pulls you under on the first page and
doesn’t let you come up for air. With fascinating characters, a
suffocating setting, and an intriguing premise, Riley Sager
relentlessly turns up the tension on every page. Good luck putting
this book down."
—Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of
Cold Cases
"For a fresh and twisty take on Rear Window, just add water: The
House Across the Lake is a propulsive, tautly plotted, and
atmospheric thriller with a vividly drawn cast of compelling
characters and a final what-just-happened twist that will have you
reeling. Loved it!"

misdirects readers while playing fair with them. Newcomers and fans
both will be eager to see what he pulls off in his next book.”

addictive beach read that fans will devour in one sitting and leave
feeling thoroughly sated.”

One of the genre's most entertaining authors.”

twists surprising while still being plausible.”

supernatural undertones, and multiple blindsiding twists, means
Sager (Survive the Night) has written another winner."

this book such a fun read.”

second guess? Also wrong. Your third will be wrong as well.”
